Bingo conjures up many images. Whether it is old ladies in a bingo hall or children in a holiday resort, there is now a new image to add to the list: twenty and thirty year olds playing online.
Bingo has been around for centuries in one form or another, ranging from a simple and fun pastime, to a great way for charities to raise money. Throughout the nineties it was relegated to a sport that was the antithesis of cool, something for children and pensioners and nothing in between. However, the internet has changed all that, and once more it is becoming increasingly popular with everyone from teenagers to young parents. In fact, today it is one of the most popular pastimes for females of any age in the UK.
Whether online or offline, there is a great social aspect to the game whether you are sat around a table joking and laughing or communicating on a computer chat room, and it is this social side that may explain its popularity. The game itself is not too taxing and therefore the distraction of social interaction won’t mean the difference between winning and losing.
Playing online has revitalised bingo’s image totally and new online bingo sites are opening all the time, whether as individual sites on their own or as part of existing bookies’ sites. Almost all of these leading bookies and gambling sites will also offer free bets to new people signing up, and with so many sites out there now, that is a lot of free bets you should be able to rack up.
So, if you have only ever associated bingo with smoky rooms and pension money, then why not head online and see if it changes your mind. Not only is it fun to play, but you may just find yourself walking away with some great prize money in the process.
